    Never put 1 out. It would make me feel like I was sitting on the sidewalk begging for money.

    Of course you wouldn't. You're obviously too good for that kind of thing.

    Usually it’s just full of notes that say, “here’s a tip: play music people like”.

    I have a good reply to this thread but I don't know why the site won't let me post it.

    Wow! My post actually showed up this time. Once we found some Greek Drachma in this tip jar. We just scratched our heads and threw it away.

    Wow, someone is in a bad mood today. I always take Ricks remarks as being funny most of the time cause he reminds me of George Carling lol. Rick has been around here a long time and I never heard anyone get upset over his remarks they just usually get a chuckle out of them.

    None of my bands have ever done a tip jar at a paid gig.

    We have requested shots all night long

    You have posted several remarks on threads I've made and questions I've asked that have come across as smart assed and snarky. I apologize if I took them the wrong way, but when it happens over and over again I will eventually say something. I'm not here to get smart assed remarks to questions from the same person over and over again.

    Rick only said how it would make him feel. Why is that "snarky"?
    I feel the same way. It makes me think of the guy sitting on the street with his guitar case open with change in it, or a cup next to him. If you're playing a paying gig, it seems kinda cheesy to me to insinuate the crowd should pay you too.
    Guess I'm a wise*** too.

    Cape Cod musician Kami Lyle duct-tapes her tip jar to a Roomba robot vacuum, and adds some battery Christmas lights. It travels around the room, collecting tips from the customers, and brings the loot back to the performers. Brilliant. Cleaner floors, too !

    That’s awesome. We could never do that in the bars we play. It would stick to the floor or fall through the holes, LOL.

    Heck, according to the Immigration policy here, you can't even put out a tip jar if there are foreigners in the band!.

    However, I do quite well at work tip wise, so all is good.

    all the best...
